Maritime Patrol Patch — Order This Lighthouse and Compass Design
Design S1833A at a glance
A silver-merrowed custom cut in green, white, grey and gold, built around a lighthouse topped with castle-style battlements, rising over waves with a compass beneath. Two lettering lines carry the jurisdiction and the maritime patrol role. The battlements turn a familiar coastal symbol into a fortress, which suits units that guard a waterline rather than simply light it.

About this lighthouse and compass maritime patrol design
Lighthouses are the go-to emblem for marine law enforcement, but this one adds a twist: the tower is crowned with castle battlements, so it reads as a watchtower as much as a beacon. The compass below anchors the navigation theme, and the waves place the whole scene on open water. Green and gold set it apart from the navy that dominates most marine patches.
Make it yours: set your jurisdiction and unit in the two lettering lines, recolor the green to navy if you prefer the traditional marine look, or redraw the lighthouse as a landmark from your own coast. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Maritime patrol patch questions
Can the lighthouse be redrawn as one on our coast?
Yes. Send a photo of your lighthouse or harbor landmark and we redraw it over the waves at no art charge.
Will the patch hold up to salt spray?
Embroidered patches handle normal wash cycles; for gear that stays wet, order the same art in PVC, which doesn’t absorb water.
Can we switch the green to navy?
Yes. Every color can change, and the proof shows your chosen palette before production.
Do the battlements stay visible at small sizes?
From about 3.5" tall, yes. Below that we simplify the notches on the proof so the tower outline stays clean.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the lighthouse, pin notes and retype the lettering. Your marked-up version rides with the quote.
Comparing marine insignia with other police patches?
A lighthouse suits units on the water; city, campus and K9 teams use other outlines. The police patch catalog beside this battlemented lighthouse and compass shows every shape we stitch for departments. If you are choosing between embroidered and PVC for wet gear, the custom patch hub that walks a green-and-gold lighthouse patch through materials sets out the trade-offs and pricing.
